KEEfcY OUTDONE.
A . Tl it rm °' Electrlc Gen rator Expected
to Work a Revolution In Telegraphy
ami Mechanics.
For about nine days now, save an In
dianapolis special to the Chicago Tribunt,
a thermo-electric generator has been sup
plying a current of electricity sufficient to
operate four wires, two to Louisville,
one to Alattoon, 111., and one
to Union City, in this State—the total
length of the wire in operation exceeding
600 miles. As to the machine itself, all
that the observer sees is a copper boiler,
of perhaps two-gallon capacity,
mounted on the frame of a sewing
machine. Underneath the boiler is a
coal oil lamp which is burning with about
the flame used to partially illuminate a
sick room. It has been burning continu
ously for eight days and nights, except
when being replenished, and had con
sumed less than 20 cents worth of oil. In
front of the boiler is a gauge which marked
100 degrees of heat. Inside of the boiler
were seraph of metal protruding from a
white substance that mrght be flour or
plaster of parls. Attached to the boiler
is an automatic regulator.
In response to questions as to the nature
of his discovery the inventor said that it
had long been known to scientists that
the juxtaposition of certain metals would
generate electricity, and that the process
of generation would be accelerated by the
application of heat. This knowledge had,
however, remained inapplicable to prac
ticable purposes from three causes—first,
the amount of heat required was so great
as to cause rapid fracture of the com
bined metals, and this rendered any ma
chine previously invented short-lived, and
consequently expensive; second, the cur
rent of electricity generated was uneven
and unsteady; third, the high degree of
heat involved a great expenditure for
fuel. 1 hat he had overcome the
third difficulty was apparent. That
lie had overcome the second he held
to t>e proved, for telegraphic service re
quires a perfectly uniform ana steadv
current of electricity, and this he had
maintained for nine days. Whether the
other obstacle had been overcome was
now being tested, and the te9t would be
continued for thirty days, if at the end
of that time all is well with the little ma
chine he will give a demonstration with
one big enough to create something like a
revolution in the use of electricity. At
present he declines to expose the combi
nation of metals b? which he has secured
these results.- Telegraphing is one of
only a few uses to which the thermo
generator can be applied. The small
apparatus now in use was made
in the presence of your correspondent to
operate an engine which would run a
swift sewing machine, or keep the press i
of a country paper going, and furnish
light for a half a dozen electric lamps in
the bargain, all at a cost of 15 cents a
week. A larger machine, it is said, would
run the elevator of a tirst-class hotel and
light every room in the house for a quarter
of a dollar It could also be used for
propelling and lighting street cars. In
tact, its uses were boundless. There is
now only one question to be solved be
fore the success of the invention is de
termined. It is the one of durability.
JAY GOULD’S LOSSES.
His Colossal Fortune Sai.l to Have
Shrunk Si 1,042,000.
Mr. Gould’s losses through the shrink
age of his property, says a New York
special to the Boston Herald, have been
enormous. He has a large amount of
stock held for investment, and all of it is
very much below the quotations of two
or three years ago. Put down in tabular
form, the figures would look something
like this, the stocks being his investment,
and not his speculative line; the specula
tive losses of the last year would swell the
amount 33 per cent.

Enormous as these figures are, they do
not represent entirely the shrinkage of
Mr. Gould’s fortune, for he is possessor of
many railway mortgages and ot stock in
many banking and trust companies, car
companies and bridge and warehouse
companies, nearly every one of wb icb is
worth less money than it was three years
ago. It is safe to say that the market value
ot Mr. Gould's securities has shrun k525,-

All through the panic, and for the last
month, for that matter, Mr. Gottld has
been constantly in his Broadway office,
and he has evinced the liveliest interest
in the condition of the market. He has
done all in his power to taik up prices,
has been interviewed again and again,
and had used every artifice to rest ore con
fidence. His anxiety and his efforts prove
that he has largo interests at stiike, and
that he is most deeply interested. llis
brokers have been no busier than usual,
however, and it is the gossip of
Wall street that they have not traded anv
to speak of since the panic burst. The in
ference is that Mr. Gould is awaßing de
velopments.
MINISTER MORTON’S GI’BST.
The Gossip About His Treatment of the
Count of Paris.
A London dispatch says: Apropos of
the gossip about the alleged special honor
paid to the Count of Paris by Mr. Levi P.
Morton, the American Minister at Paris,
the other evening, London Truth says:
“It is dangerous to touch French con
spirators. Mr. Morton likes his guests to
leate his house agreeably impressed. He
thought it best, therefore, to please his
Orleanist guests by honoring the Count
of Paris' pretensions to the throne. A
lady asked Mr. Morton to introduce her
to the Count of Paris. Mr. Morton in
formed the Count of this request, and
he intimated that he should, be pleased to
allow her to be presented. Mr. Morton
thereupon said to the lady: ‘The Count
of Paris permits me to introduce you to
him.’ The Orleanists present made use
of this incident to circulate through
France that America admitted the sov
ereignty of the Count of Paris. Mr.
Morton erred in inviting an active, open
pretender to his house, but he was led
into it by American ladies, unworthy of
America, who pose in Paris as leaders of
society by virtue of their large fortunes
and the fact that they are married to idle
Frenchmen ol dubious nobility. These
ladies regard untitled Europeans as
mean whites, and fancy that a nation
without nobility is a garden without
flowers. Mr. and Mrs. Morton are liable,
however, to meet in loyalist drawing
rooms speckled peaches that would not be
admitted to respectable houses in New
York."
ELOPED WITH A NEGRO.
A Pretty Pennsylvania Jewess’ Strange
Infatuation for a Mulatto.
Pauline Lewis, an attractive Jewess,
aged 18 years, says an Easton, Pa.,
special of the 28th inst. to the New York
Ho rid, became infatuated recently with
a good-looking mulatto named John Good.
Her mother became suspicious that the
two were growing intimate, and after
lecturing her daughter on her conduct
told her that all relations with the man
must instantly ease. Pauline defied her
mother’s authority, declared she loved the
negro, and when her mother, who was
painfully surprised at the confession,
again reproved her, she sprang upon the
aged woman and beat her severely. Mrs.
Lewis went in search of an officer, and
during her absence Pauline and herdusky
lover fled to the woods and remained
there over night, leaving Easton the. next
day. Officers have since been searching
for them, but wiihout success. To-day it
was learned that the couple were living
together as man and wife in Newark, N.
J., and that Good was employed as a
waiter in a Canal street saloon in that
city.

RALLYING AT CHICAGO.
DELEGATES ARRIVING AND
SKIRMISHING BEGUN.
One-Sixth of the Entire Convention on
the Ground Lait Night—The Marshal*
of the Different Candidates Already
Hard at Work Organizing Their Forces
and Enlisting Recruits.
Chicago, May 30. —The morning trains
brought in a portion of the lowa delega
tion, three members of the South Carolina
delegation and six Texas delegates. Be
yond a few delegates from Ohio and Ken
tucky, and the arrival of a portion of the
Illinois delegation, the above constitute
the only additions to the few arrivals of
the two preceding days. From New York,
Pennsylvania and the national capital,
however, came large additions to the
advance guard of those interested in the
outcome of the National Convention, but
who form no part of its working
body. Their presence, however, has
imparted great life to the
preliminary skirmishing, and for the first
time the hotels are taking on the air of
activity shown by them for weeks pre
vious to the convention of four years ago.
Headquarters were opened this morning
for the Arthur and Blaine forces, those of
Gen. Logan having been in existence for
some days. The remainder of the lowa
delegation will arrive to-morrow morning,
at which time the California delegation
will also put in an appearance. The
organization of State delegations wiU be
gin to-morrow afternoon in the case of
those which have full representation in
the city. The weather, which has been
cold and raw for the past three days, grew
warmer to-day, and if the present tempe
rature is maintained it will prove perfect
for convention purposes.
MORE ARRIVALS.
Chicago, May 30, 8 p. m.— There were
additional arrivals this evening, and
among the more prominent were Hon.
Galusha A. Grow, of Pennsylvania, whose
name is mentioned for the Chairmanship
of the convention, and Congressman
Thomas Bayne, and three other accredited
Pennsylvania delegates are also here.
Hon. Andrew D. White, of New York, ar
rived in advance of the main body of his
delegation. Judge Foraker, C. W. Moul
ton and Amos Smith, who represent the
vanguard of the Sherman delegation, ar
rived this afternoon.
ONE-SIXTH OF THE DELEGATES ON HAND.
Chicago, May 30, 11 r. m.— lt was es
timated to-night that about 140 delegates
had arrived, or about one-sixth of the full
complement of the convention.' By to
morrow night, or Sunday morning at the
latest, two-thirds of the delegates are ex
pected to be on the ground, so that the
activity which is to occur anterior to the
assembling of the convention
proper will be at its height on
Sunday. The California delegation
will tie the first to arrive in a body,
and their arrival early to-morrow has been
so widely heralded that it is confidently
expected to impart fire to the canvass
from the outset, owing to the pronounced
character of their preference* for the
Maine statesman. The California dele
gates are accompanied by those from Ne
vada. and the two delegations are a unit
in all their movements.
A meeting of the lowa delegation for
organization and to map out their future
line, of action Is called for to-morrow
evening. Two delegates from Washing
ton Territory arrived to-day, as
did all but two of the Oregon
delegation. The advance guard of
the Sherman men, in the persons of
Judge Foraker, delegate-at-large from
Ohio, and Luke A. Staley, alternate from
the First district, reported this evening.
The New York contingent was supple
mented during the day by the arrival of
B. Platt Carpenter, Silas B. Dutcher and
J. I. Gilbert among the delegates, and
Clinton Wheeler, Charles Gould and Gen.
George H. Sharpe among those who come
to view and take a partin the preliminary
skirmishing.
A. G. Malloy, of Galveston, came at the
head of six Texas delegates and reported
that the remainder would be on hand to
morrow'.
Chauncey I. Filley wa9 the first of the
Missouri delegates' to arrive. W. N.
Taft, Postmaster of Charleston, S. C., and
three other delegates were the first arri
vals from the Palmetto State. Col. Brady,
delegate-at-large of the Mahone delega
tion from Virginia, arrived to-day
to pave the way for the coming
of the full delegation. The Kan
sas delegation will arrive on Sunday at
noon, and it is expected that it will be
the last of the full delegations to arrive
on the scene.
GETTING DOWN TO WORK.
The headquarters of the candidates were
regularly opened for business to-day and
consultations were constantly in progress
between the leaders of the movements in
behalf of each, while trusty lieutenants
were out making the acquaintance of the
straggling advance guards of the various
State delegations as they arrived. In
this way the various leaders were enabled
to secure information at the earliest mo
ment of the condition of affairs in a large
proportion of the States and revise their
estimates of the strength of their
respective candidates. This in
volved almost continuous private
consultations in inner-rooms. The chief
centre of interest during the day was the
Grand Pacific Hotel, in which are the
headquarters of Arthur, Blaine and Logan.
The carpets of the hallways and parlors
have been covered with canvas to
save them from the wear and tear and the
litter of the incoming hosts which
will fill them to-morrow and part, of next
week. The main headquarters for Arthur
are in the gentlemen’s parlor on the Jack
son street front. Across the folding doors
at the entrance is a large strip oi canvas,
lettered in black, with the words “For
President, Chester A. Arthur.” To-mor
row tables will he laden with pamphlets
containing reports of the recent Arthur
business men’s meeting in New York.
These headquarters are in charge of
Clinton Wheeler of New York, James D.
Warren of the Buffalo Commercial-Adver
tiser, and George 11. Sharpe of New
York. It was said to an associated press
reporter aPthesejheadquarters that the out
look was cheering, and that the Presi
dent’s friends generally were growing
more confident as the situation de
veloped.
The Blaine headquarters are in rooms
Nos. 19 and 51 of the same hotel, and are
in charge of Stephen B. Elkins of New
Mexico, G. A. Grow of Pennsylvania, and
J. S. Clarkson, editor of the State Register
ot Des Moines. lowa. A small placard on
the outside of the door and a lithograph
portrait inside are the visible signs that
this is the centre of the Blaine councija.
Logan’s headquarters occupy rooms
Nos. 34 and 36, and are in charge of A. M.
Jones, Chairman, and Daniel Shepherd,
Secretary, of the Illinois State Central
Committee.
Thus far no headquarters have been
opened for Edmunds, Sherman or Hawley.
THE VICK PRESIDENCY.
In the discussions and doubt prevailing
in regard to the question of the first place
the Vice Presidency has dropped almost
completely out of sight, for the reason
that the traditions of the party make the
latter depend on the former as a mere
matter of political geography. Anew
candidate for that however,
was developed to-day in the person of
the Hon. Andrew D.'White, President of
Cornell College, who was spoken of lor
the place in case the fortunes of politics
should make a Western man the candi
date for President. The sub-committee
of the National Committee completed Its
preliminary labors this evening to be
able to report to the full committee,
which is to assemble at noon to-morrow.
It is known that the following members
will be present at the meeting, including
those who areexpected to arrive to-night:
John C. New,ot Indiana; Powell Clayton,
of Arkansas; Horace Davis, of Cali
fornia: John S. Routt, of Colorado; O.
H. Platt, of Connecticut: Mr.
Hastings, as proxy for Christan
Febiger, of Delaware: B. C. Cook, proxy
for John A. Logan, of Illinois: John P.
Runnells, of Iowa; John A. Martin, of
Kansas; James H. Stone, of Michigan; D.
M. Sabin, of Minnesota; Geo. C. McKee,
of Mississippi; Chauncey I. Filley, of
Missouri: Jas. W. Dawes, of Nebraska;
Wm. E. Chandler, of New Hampshire;
Geo. H. Halsey, of New Jersey; Thos. C.

of Wisconsin; Geo. L. Shout, of Idaho;
Alexander 11. Beattie, of Montana; Ste
phen B. Elkins, of New Mexico, and C.

THE CONTESTS.
Outside of the State of Virginia
the claims of delegations from ten con
tested districts will come before the sub
committee for action. These districts as
reported to Secretary Martin are as fol
lows: First Alabama, First Georgia,
Fifth Kentucky, Fourth Maryland, Fourth
Texas, Twenty-first Pennsylvania, Sixth
SAVANNAH, SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1884.
New York, Second Illinois, Nineteenth
New York, and Fourth Pennsylvania. It
is not anticipated that any of ’ these con
tests will prove a very heavy tax upon
the committee, and it is expected that a
speedy action will be taken on them. The
case of the State of Virginia is one, how
ever, ot more serious moment, and will
probably occupy a fair share
of the attention of the con
vention and provoke considerable dis
cussion before closed. Among the
colored Mahone delegates from Virginia
is vv illiam H. Pleasants, who.has yet
departed for this city, according to late
advices received here’ to-day. Yesterday
morning a negro dressed in a broadcloth
suit and palmetto bat made his appear
ance at the Grand Pacific Hotel and gave
himself out as the original.
He was entertained somewhat lavishly
oy a number of local lieutenants until
tne receipt of the telegram from Washing
ton, directed to J. D. Brady, of Virginia,
which read:
“Pleasants is here. The man imper
sonating him is an impostor and should be
arrested.”
The individual who called himself
lleasantswas lying back comfortably In
one of the plush-covered easy chairs at
the Grand Pacific on receipt of the tele
gram, but soon after took a hurried de
parture. No attempt was made to arrest
him.
Headauarters under the auspices of
leadiug business men of the city in advo
cacy of the candidacy of President Arthur
were opened at the Palmer House to-day,
and at a meeting this afternoon a commit
tee was appointed, with power to add to
its numbers, to receive the New York
business men’s delegation, which will ar
rive to-morrow, and tender its members
the use of these roolns.
The Citizens Arthur Committee have
prepared a long address to the delegates,
which will be printed in large type and
richly decorated and framed, and is to
he displayed at their headquarters and
distributed at various points about the
city to-morrow morning.
MAHONE ON HAND.
Washington, May 30.—A Chicago
special to the Evening Star says: “Senator
Mahone and some of his delegates are
here. The proposition to admit both
\ lrginia delegations to the convention is
opposed by Mahone. and the National
Committee are puzzled as to who shall
have the tickets of admission primarily to
reference of the question to the Committee
on Credentials. If the Dpzendorf dele
gation is admitted in whole or in part,
Mahone says that his delegation will leave
the convention. He says that De
zendorf has been outvoted as a Republi
can, and that his coadjutor, Gen.
Wickham, is a Democrat. Mrs. Belva
Lockwood, who is a delegate to the con
vention, with Rev. Dr. McMurdy and D.
Bland, front the National Arbitration
League and the Universal Peace Union,
are here. Her object in attending the
convention is to urge the insertion of a
piiitik in the platform favoring arbitra
tion. She will go before the committee
appointed to draw up resolutions, and
will make an appeal for the adoption of
one provision that, as the women of this
country are citizens, producers and tax
payers, and amenable to all of the laws of
the land, civil and criminal, which thus
far they have had no part in making, they
should be given the right to vote on equal
terms with men. To-night she will lec
ture on “The American Statesman and
His Shortcomings, or Who Shall be Presi
dent?”
WHAT SOME OE THE LEADERS WILL DO.
The attractions ot Decoration day did
not hold the Congressmen and delegates to
Chicago here. They left off every train
to-night. The town is more lonely than
it has been since last fall. Blaine is still
here, though, and all the other candidates,
except Arthur and Lincoln, who are ex
pected back at once, despite the story that
Lincoln is going to Chicago. Blaine is
not going fishing, as 'he at first
announced, and he is to have a special
wire, although he publicly declined the
offer made ‘by the telegraph companies
to him,as to every other candidate. He will
sit at this end of that wire until the con
vention adjourns. At the other
end are his managers. Sherman and
Logan will probably avail themselves of
similar wires. Secretary Chandler has
determined that, in compliance with the
President’s request, they will not go to
Chicago, lie will keep himself and his
representatives at Chicago well informed.
To-night Blaine went to the opera. Very
appropriately “Fra Diavolo” held the
boards. Blaine was recognized,
and cheered again and again by the audi
ence. Ho gave no sign of recognition to
the compliment. Dezendorf and his
straightouts, after a parting conference
with Blaine, went out to-day in the hope
that he would be admitted in preference
to Mahone through a combination of the
anti-Arthur men.
NEWSPAPERMEN ON THE ROAD.
A part}' of sixty or more Washington
newspaper men, representing leading
journals in all parts of the country, left
here this morning lor Chicago in a special
train as the guests for the entire trip of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany. Their train consists of two new
sleepers and a Mann boudoir car. Ade
lina Patti’s dining car will be attached to

crowded hotels. The train will return
to Washington after the convention.
Maj. J. G. Panghorn. Assistant General
Ticket Agent of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, accompanies the train and has
its arrangements in his immediate charge.
BLAINE ON HIS PARTY.
He Feels Confident That Whoever Is
Nominated Will be Elected.
Washington, May 30.—Mr. Blaine
was shewn to-day the Washington dis
patch published in a New York paper this
morning stating that Blaine’s indifference
concerning the action of the Chicago Con
vention, which had cost his supporters so
much anxiety, was based upon the fact
that he had no desire for an empty
honor, and that he had said
that in his opinion the Republican
nominee, whoever he may be, cannot
possibly he elected this vear. Blaine’s
comment upon this dispatch wa6: “It is
an absolute lie from beginning to end.
\ou can make the denial as strong and
broad as vou choose. There is not a man
in the United States who can say with a
particle of truth that I ever said any such
thing to anybody. On the contrary, I
haven’t the slightest doubt that whoever
is nominated by the Republicans this year
will be elected.”
A BI.AINE BOOMERANG.
The Blaine literary bureau publishes
this: “In one of the alcoves of the Con
gressional Library Senators Hoar and
Allison met ex-Secretary Blaine yester
day, and they had a conference of some
length. A Missouri member of Congress,
in search of a book, saw the three in
earnest conversation, and he afterwards
remarked to a reporter: ‘That confer
ence is very significant. It means more
votes for Blaine.’ ” As it happened, that
conference had nothing whatever to do
with politics.
Pledger Talks Again.
Washington, May 30.-Pledger, of
Atlanta, interviewed himself again to-day
in denial of a report that his delegation
was In doubt. He 6aid: “The Georgia
delegation to a man will vote for Arthur
and will support him as long as he has a
chance ot getting the nomination. The
report that the Georgia Republicans are
split on account ot the appointment of
postal clerks from that State is not true.
There has not been a postal clerk ap
pointed from our State in the past six
months.”
Teemar Beats Conley.
Chicago, May 30.—The rowing race be
tween Peter Conley, of Portland, Me., and
John Teemer, of Pittsburg, three miles
with a turn for SI,OOO a side,took place at
Pullman this afternoon, and was very
closely contested from start to finish, the
men spurting again and again. They
reached the turning stake together in 10
minutes and 10 seconds. At no time was
there more than one half a length between
them till within 200 yards of the finish
where Teemer led by one length., At that
point Conley put in a spurt but Teemer
finished by one half length in the ex
tremely good time of 20 minutes and 9U
seconds.

EIGHT OR TEN LIVES IJVES
LOST IN BALTIMORE.
Chances that the Elat of Fatalities May-
Go Still Higher—The Building Sup"-
posed to Have Been One of the Most
Substantial In the City.
Baltimore, May 30, 4p. m.—A terrible
accident occurred at Hooper’s building.
No. 37 South Gay stireet, at 2 o’clock this
afternoon, by which several persons are
known to have been crushed todeath. The
weight of cotton stored in the building
caused it to collapse. When the front of
the building fell In three or four persons
were in the counting room, and four in the
shipping office. There were at least
fifteen or twenty people In front of the
structure. Firemen and police are busily
engaged in removing the debris in order
to get the people out. The body of Morti
mer H. Linthieum, cashier of the house,
was found packed in between several
barrels. A man named Kelly and a
colored boy have also been found among
the ruins. Eight bodies have so far been
discovered.
TWO MORE BODIES RECOVERED.
Baltimore, May 80. Bp. m.— Up to 7
o’clock this evening only the bodies of
Linthieum and a colored boy named J.
E. Bowen had been recovered from
Hooper's warehouse, in addition to those
already named. Edward Bowen, the
colored porter of Messrs, nooper, is in
the wreck. William H. Corkran, clerk,
was caught under the falling timbers, but
was little injured.
Dugdale & Long, dealers in fertilizers,
occupied the front office on the second
floor of the building, and Benjamin Green
wood, Gedea Hook and Kenneth McLea,
employes, are known to have been there
when the crash came. Greenwood
reached the window and was rescued
without serious injury. Hook and Mc-
Lea are still under the debris, the whole
of which is filled with gas from broken
pipes.
STRENGTH OF THE BUILDING.
The building was supposed to be one of
the most substantial in the city, with
heavy side walls and a bluestone front.
It had been occupied for several years by
William E. Hooper & Sons, cotton goods
manufacturers, and an immense stock
was stored on the five floors. On which
floor the break occurred is not known,
and all are down from the front to within
about forty feet of the rear, which opens
on Frederick street. The counting room
is located • in tho rear of the first
floor, and most of the persons
were there when the break occurred.
One-half of the upper lront was thrown
down, and the remainder so broken and
pusMd outward that it is liable to fall at
any moment. The warehouse was built
about twenty-five years ago, and was long
used as a tobacco house. The ground
was filled in, having once been the river
shore. The foundation is said to have
settled down, and the immense weight of
the goods was the cause of the calamity.
THE LIST OE FATALITIES INCREASING.
BAX.TIMORE, May 30, 11:30 p. m.— lt has
been ascertained to-night that a colored
drayman named Moulton was in the
building at the time ot its falling and is
supposed to be in the wreck dead. A
young man named Noah Martin who was
in the building received a compound frac
ture of the left leg and was taken to the
city hospital. After midnight a portion
of the front wall ieft standing will be
thrown down so that the debris mar be
removed where Hook and McLea fell. ’ Up
to 11 o’clock to-night there were fully
1,000 persons about the ruins.
COL. BURNSIDE IN JAIL.
Little Prospect that He will be Able to
Famish Bail.
Washington, May 30.—C01. Burnside
was not kept at his house in charge of a
Deputy Marshal all night, as at first in
tended. He was removed to jail about 11
o’clock last night. His efforts to secure
bail have so far been fruitless, and his
prospects for doing so are less favorable
to-day than yesterday. Two responsible
men who yesterday agreed to sign his bail
bond have withdrawn their agreement
and no others have been found.
Capt. Hopkins’ Dismissal.
Washington, May 30.— The Army and
-Vary Register, the official gazette, to
morrow will say: “The House of Repre
sentatives last week passed a bill to re
store Capt. Alfred Hopkins to the navy.
This action was supported by arguments
which do little credit to the men who
made them. The dismissal of Capt. Hop
kins was undoubtedly warranted by his
action in going away from Pensacola
when he did, and to restore him to the
service would be to put a premium on re
missness in the discharge of duty. The
i>enate Naval Committee is against the
bill, and it cannot become a law.”
The Garfield Memorial Hospital.
Washington, May 30.— The Garfield
Memorial Hospital in’this city wa* for
mally dedicated to-day with appropriate
services. Rev. Mr. Butler, of the Lu
theran Memorial Church, officiated, and
Justice Miller, of the Supreme Court,
President of the Board of Directors of the
hospital, delivered the.address. A garden
party, with, dancing, music and other
amusements, followed the dedication ser
vices. _ The hospital will be open lor pa
tients in two weeks. A resident physi
cian and five nurses will comprise the
staff, and there will be accomodations for
40 patients.
Ilorr’s Truthful Answer.
Washington, May 30.—Just before the
train, laden with Republican Congress
men, swept out of the station lastniglt
on the way to C-icago, the Congressmen
were askeckto prophesy as to the nominee
of the convention. 'Che Arthur men said
Arthur, the Blaine men said Blaine, and
every other candidate was named wita
confidence by his admirers. Only one re
cognized the uncertainties. Mr. Horr, oi
Michigan, who wants to be chairman,tem
porary or permanent, of the convention,
and who i9 therefore everybody’s friend,
said when his turn came, “God only
knows.”
Mr. Springer’s Commttte Takes a Best.
Washington, May 30.—The Springer
Committee expected to take the testi
mony ot Mr. Merrick to-day, in the star
route investigation, but as two of the
Republican members of the committee
desired to go to Chicago the examination
was postponed until the latter part of
next week. If ex-Senator Dorsev attends
the Chicago Convention an effort will he
made to serve a subpoena upon him re
quiring him to appear before the com
mittee and give testimony.

A Decoration Day Tragedy.
Indianapolis, May 30.—A special
from Vevay, Ind.. says: “Peter Joyce
(white) instantly killed Squire Sanders
(colored) this afternoon. Joyce had par
ticipated in the decoaation day proces
sion, and afterward became drunk and
pointed a loaded musket at a number of
people, until Sanders appeared, when he
fired, the ball passing through his head.
Joyce was arrested.” ~ *

DECORATION DAY.
Ex-Confederates Join In the Ceremonies
of the Federal Survivors.
.Washington, May 30.—The weather
all over the country north and west of
this city was too chilly for comfort out of
doors, but this was the only drawback to
the Decoration day ceremonies. The in
terest displayed was everywhere as great
as In former years.
In Washington all the Departments
were closed. The President and all of his
Cabinet, except Secretaries Lincoln and
Chandler, were in New York participa
ting in the ceremonies there, ahd Secretary
Lincoln was at the Arlington Cemetery. "
At the Soldiers’ Home and National
Cemetery at Arlington, where are buried
the greater part of the soldiers killed in
this vicinity, elaborate programmes were
carried out, and the participants and
spectators weie very numerous. The
ceremonies were under charge ot the va
rious posts of the Grand Army of the Re
public, and committees from the same or
ganizations visited and scattered flowers
and evergreens on the graves of their de
parted brethren in the other cemeteries of
the District.
At Baltimore no organized celebration
was held, but the cemeteries contaifiing
the dead were thronged all day and flow',
ers were deposited in profusion.
At the National Cemetery at Gettys
burg the largest crowd ever assembled
there took part in the proceedings. Dele
gate Martin MacGinnis, of Montana, was
the orator of the dav.
At Annapolis the Union and Confederate
veterans united in the decoration cere
monies. Hon. A. J. Warner, member of
Congress from Ohio, was the orator of
the day.
At Frederick and Antietam due ob
servances ot the day w'ere held, Gen.
John A. Logan delivering a speech at
Antietam.
AT NEW YORK.
At New York the display was equal to,
if not greater, than last year. President
Arthur reviewed the procession on Fifth
avenue. Among the orators was Judge
Tourgee. Rev. Dr. Talmage was the ora
tor at Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn.
In the procession on Fifth avenue and
Broadway were Gen. Butler. Gen. Sheri
dan and staff, Gens. Sherman, Grant and
Hancock, and the Siamese embassy.
At New Orleans the graves of Union
soldiers in Chalmette Cemetery were dec
orated with the usual ceremonies by the
Grand Army of the Republic posts.
Handsome and elalmrate floral tributes
were presented by delegations from the
associations of the Army of Northern Vir
ginia, the Army of Tennessee, the Wash
ington Artillery and the Continental
Guards. The weather was rainy.
At Richmond the day was observed by
the closing of the Federal and State pub
lic offices during the afternoon, and a
parade of the colored military and civic
societies, who proceeded to the National
Cemetery and decorated the graves. De
tails from Phil Kearnev Post of the Grand
Army of the Republic did similar duty at
Cold Harbor, Seven Pines, Glendale and
Fort Harrison, while a detail from Sage
Post, accompanied by a large delegation
from Robert E. Lee Camp of Confederate
Veterans, went from Richmond to Freder
icksburg and participated in the cere
monies.
EX-PRESIDENT HAVES ALIVE.
Springfild, 0., Mi.y 30.— At the Dec
oration Day ceremonies here to-day the
address was delivered by ex-President
Hayes, who spoke in behalf of government
aid in the education of the illiterate in
various portions of the country, and urged
the people to exert their influence on the
House of Representatives to pass the
Senate bill to aid in the establishment and
temporary support' of common schools.
Ex-President Hayes said that had it not
been for ignorance there would have been
no rebellion, and that the blacks, having
been enfranchised, it was the duty of the
government to bo educate them that they
could vote intelligently. He then said
“when the war ends the duty of peace
must follow. The slaves are yet but half
emancipated. The thraldom of ignorance
must be broken. Freedom and privilege
of voting are education, but are not com
plete in their work. Universal suffrage
should be based on education.” Ex-Presi
dent Haves then alluded to the managers
of the John Slater fund of a million dol
lars. Mr. Slater, he said, provided that
manual labor be taught with educational
branches. The hill, which has passed the
Senate, was not perfect, but it was a good
beginning in the right direction. There
are difficulties to he overcome. Almost
half of the voters of the South were lately
slaves, while the other half were not
adequately educated; now more than a
million voters cannot read the ballots they
cast. The case is urgent. Continued
ignorance may put in jeopardy the nation’s
life once more. The address’was entirely
non-partisan and produced a profound im
pression.
RICHMOND’S ItOYAL WELCOME.
The Sixty-First Pennsylvania Regiment
Takes the City by Storm.
Rich mond, Va., May 30.—The recep
tion of the Sixty-first Pennsylvania Vete
rans, who arrived here at 9:45 o’clock to
night, was one of the grandest ovations
ever witnessed in Richmond. Instead of,
as over 20 years ago. when many of them,
after the battle of Seven Pines, entered
the city as prisoners, under guard of Con
federates, they, to-night, entered more as
conquering heroes, receiving the enthu
siastic greetings of their own people for
valiant deeds done. They were
met at Elba station in
the western end of the city by R. E. Lee
camp of Confederate Veterans, other
military of this city, and a large con
course of citizens. As they marched un
der escort of the military for a mile and
a half down Broad street to the First
Regiment armory, the crowds lining
the sidewalks along the whole route
greeted them with cheers upon cheers,
and the constant burning of fireworks of
every description. The spectacle was
most brilliant, and the spontaneous
ovation of the people was remarkable.
The Pennsylvanians will to-morrow visit
the battle field of Seven Points.
NIPPED BY AN ICE FLOE.
A Ship Lifted Out of tlie Water and Her
Crew in Danger of Starving.
St. John, N. F., May 30.— The New
foundland sealing brig Confederate, Capt.
Thomas Greene, of Harbor Grace, with a
crew of seventy-nine men, was caught in
a formidable ice nip in Notre Dame Bay
on April 28 and thrown completely on the
floe. The ship lies over on her side with
her yard arms on the ice. On the 20th of
May five of the crew volunteered to travel
to land, distant nearly twenty miles, and
report the situation at imminent i>eril to
their lives, and in an exhausted condition
they reached Twillingate, boarded the
steamer Hercules and arrived here
this evening. They report that all the
provisions are consumed except the bread,
and that the last pound of fuel is ex
hausted. There is a frozen ocean of ice
al'. around, and the ship thus beset is
drifting out to sea. There is danger of
the w hole crew being starved to death.
A powerful sealing steamship will be at
once dispatched to the rescue. Capt.
Cress, of the steamer Hercules, reports
lee to the eastward of Notre Dame Bay
as far as the eye can reach, and innumer
able icebergs.
CHAMBERLAIN TAPPAN DE
SIGNS.
The Resignation Tendered May 33 —It
Will Not Put Him Beyond Prosecution.
New York. May 30.—The resignation
of J. Nelson Tappan, City Chamberlain,
was accepted yesterday. It bears date of
May 22, but its acceptance, or even the
fact of its having been made, was not
given publicity until after the report of
the grand jury was published. Henry B.
Laidlow, a banker and agent of the Bank
of California, has been appointed his suc
cessor, but has not yet given bonds. Mr.
Tappan’s letter assigns poor health, and a
physician’s prescription of quiet and rest
us his reason for tendering his resigna
tion. Legal opinions obtained by news
paper reporters bold that Mr. Tappan’s
resignation will not protect h'm if the
courts should decide that he was culpa
ble in the matter of the city’s deposits in
the Marine Bank. Tappan was appointed
by Mayor Wickham in 1875, and reappoint
ed by Mayor’s Ely and Cooper.

of the Trouble—ll4,ooo,ooo Lost by
the Pool and H 1,300,000 in Overdrafts
on the Bank—Other Vibrations from
the Crashes.
Pittsburgh, May 30.—An intimate
friend of George W. Rowley, individual
bookkeeper of the Penn Bank
made a statement for him to-day that
checks of D. Wilson & Cos.. Hill & Cos.,
and Watson & Cos., mythical firms, were
drawn and signed by President Riddle,
and that the latter represented all these
firms. The blind noo! lost over $4,000,000
in oil, and the fver drafts on the bank
aggregate $1,300, *>00. President Riddle,
who at one time possessed $400,000, lost
it in oil. The Pennsylvania Protective
Association had $4,000 in the
bank when the doors w&ye closed, but no
claims have ever been rejected, and the
association will continue business. No
tices have been served on the directors
for a meeting Saturday morning to pre
pare a statement for the members, which
will be published on Juno 5.
ANOTHER OF THE CLIQUE.
Thomas J. Wilson, an oil broker, whose
account in the Penn Bank was overdrawn

evening with his wife. Detectives have
been shadowing his house for two days.
Telegrams have been sent East to arrest
hint for conspiracy. There is great ex
citement to-night, and other arrests
are expected. A search is being
made for about $200,000 worth of
securities seut East on Friday or Satur
day, of which there is no trace. Attor
neys are examining a big box of papers
found in the bank, which may throw some
light on the operations of the bank and
explain many things which are much
talked-of mysteries ar. this time. Nearly
all ot the assets of Mr. Riddle which
were available were disposed of weeks
ago. The assets turned over were those
on which money could not be speedily
obtained.
The Harmony Bank Closes.
Pittsburg, May 30.—A special from
Harmony, Pa., says that the Harmony
Sayings Bank closed its doors yesterday,
owing to its money being tied "up in the
Penn Bank. As it was known that the
bank did business with the Penn Bank, a
“run” was feared, and it was deemed
best by the officers to close before a rush
commenced. There was no statement
made as to the liabilitiies, but they are
believed to be small.
A Flutter In London.
London, May 30.—A flutteroccurred in
the market for American securities in the

TILDEN’9 CANDIDACY.
Representative Spriggs Says That the
Sage Will Live Out nt* Term.
Washington. May 30.—A reporter
| called the attention of Representative
i Spriggs, of New York, to a dispatch from
New Y'ork which represented that Tilden
was manceuvering to nominate Payne.
After reading the dispatch Mr. Spriggs
said: “That’s all bosh. Some say Mr.
Tilden is working for Randall, others that
he means to nominate Payne, others
Flower, and so on, but in my opinion he
is for Tilden. Mr. Tilden is a peculiar
man. There Is not a soul living, except
himself, who knows his plans and pur
poses. I have known him tor years, and
from my knowledge of the man and of the
situation, I think that he will be the can
didate. Y'es, he’ll be nominated and
elected.”
“Is he physically able to stand the
strain?”
“Y’es,” replied Mr. Spriggs. “Mr. Til
den is the same man now that he was
years ago; that he was In 1876. I saw
him last Friday, and I observe no special
change in him. He is not a man who
would be much in a back-hold wrestle
or sparring match, but his head is clear,
his mind js vigorous, and he Is physically
able to discharge all the duties
incumbent upon him. ne never was
robust. There never was a time since
I’ve known him when a strong
wind would not have blown him
ov6r. He is a practical man. Now whv
should he do anything just now with re
gard to the nomination. Everything is
going well enough for him. All the dele
gations are being instructed for him.
Some ask, ‘Why doesn’t he declare him
self?’ Well, now if he should do that it
might provoke opposition, but a9 it is, no
body antagonizes him. He is satisfied,
no doubt to let well enough alone.”
“Y’ou think, then, that he will consent
to run?”
“That is my belief from the lights be
fore me. All the delegates to the New
York State Convention are being in
structed for him. Some counties give in
structions for Flower, but all of them say
Tilden first. He will run and be elected,
and, more than that, he will live to serve
out his term, unless something occurs be
tween now and the meeting of the con
vention to impair his health. There can
lie no objection to him on that score,”

battle or Waterloo, who engaged in the
fray with the forces of thegreat Napoleon,
says a Worcester (Mass.) special of the

himself, and is able to substantiate it by
papers that he carries with him.
He is a sturdy old man, 92 years of
age, and has a long, heavy white
beard, which rests on his breast.
Count Zouraski takes bis title

and espoused also the cause of Kossuth.
Becoming obnoxious to the Russian au

roe field of glory and fought “mit Seigel”
at the head.of a Pennsylvania companv.
Ihe Count is familiar with the names of
the great men of whom he speaks and
their homes.* He attracted much atten

and it is quite likely that in a day or two
he will ie sent on his journey to the Sol
diers’ Home at Washington.

he saw a man light what was apparently
a fuse and then run away. Immediately
after there was a report, followed by a
volume of smoke. After an inter
val of a lew seconds, the cabman says,
another report occurred between the array
intelligence department, which adjoins
the Junior Carlton Club and the Army
and Navy. Club House, facing it on the
opposite side of St. James square. The
basement of the Carlton Club House was
shattered, and four female servants, who
were at work there, were severely in
jured. The club house was crowded with
members at the time of the explosion.
Several lights were extinguished. The
lights throughout the entire building of
the Army and Navy Club were extin

ing. The corner of the which
was composed of tliicß brick work, was
blown off to a height of thirty foet, taking
with it partof the side walls and revealing
an aperture fifteen feet wide. Many
car loads of debris lying around attest to
the strength of the explosive. A

The explosive appears to have been placed

of the large building occupied by detec
tives.
WHAT A SEARCH REVEALED.
London, May 30, 1:14 r. m.—Col. Me
jendie, Inspector of Explosives, examined
the scene of the dynamite operations in
Pall Mall late to-night. The housekeeper
of the Army Intelligence Department
avers that the second explosion in St.
James square was caused by a bomb
which he saw lighted with a fuse a second
or two before the explosion occurred. An
other explosion in Scotland Yard was
averted by the failure of a fuse to burn.
The police lound several cakes ol dyna
mite in the vicinity. Nearly all of the
houses in St. James Square suffered from
the force of the cencussion. A
later search resulted in the discovery of
more explosive materials. A canister of
unexploded dynamite has been found iu
Scotland Yard. The police authorities ex
press the opinion that the attempts on the
two locations were intended to he simul
taneous. The individual who lighted the
fuse in St. James square was pursued by

EGYPTIAN AFFAIRS.
The Prospects of the Proposed Confer

London, May 30.— The Pall Mall Go.
eett-e says: “A diplomatist, who is be
lieved to be Prince Von Ilohenlohe, the
German Ambassador to France, has been
interviewed regarding the proposed Egyp
tian conference. He pronounced the
chances favorable for Prime Minister
berry, provided he strikes while England
is helpless and don't wait till she has re
gained her prestige by an autumn cam
paign in Soudan.'’
Pxris, May 30. —La Gaulois declares
that the French Cabinet has decided to
reject the proposals of England in regard
to Egyptian finances.
Cairo, May 30.— Nubar Pasha, the
Egyptian Prime Minister, is preparing a
statement to the powers showing that
Egypt is unable to support the present
rates of taxation. The land tax is often
greater than the value of the crops.
Rochefort’s Pique Against Grant.
Paris, May 30.—Henri Rochefort, ed
itor ot La Intransiqeant, continues to make
violent attacks on Gen. Grant. It is re
ported that his real reason thr this is that
Gen. Grant refused to receive him when
he passed through the United States on
his way back to France from New Cal
edonia.
M. Rochefort, replying in his jeurnal,
La Intransigeant, to the statement that
Gen. Grant refused to receive him, says:
“1 never solicited Gen. Grant for an
audience. I would have received one,
but I guarded myself from accepting it.
I could"not forget how, as President of
the United States during the war of 1870,
he lost no chance to show his hostility to
France. Not only were our defeats
saluted at the White House by toasts to
German successes, but Mr. Washburne,
the American Minister to France, abused
without shame his diplomatic immunity,
and made himself an active agent of
Bismarck, and twice a -week
passed, through his valise, ad
vices of the state of the siege
addressed to King William. M. Keratry,
now prefect of police at Paris, arrested
several American agents who wore spies
in the service of Prussia, and whom he
expelled from the country.
In 1878 when ex-President Grant was
entertained at a State dinner in Berlin,
following the review of the German
troops, given in his honor, he proposed a
toast to the Emperor, to Bismark, and to
the German army which had beaten
France. Sayingi “And after what we
have just 6een will always beat her.”
This 6tyle of recognition of the services
of r ranee during the struggle for Ameri
can independence arose from the need
Gen. Grant felt to manage the German
vote in his campaign for a third Presi
dential term.
M.j Rochefort’s statements are attract
ing universal attention in Paris.
